Editor WELLINGTON HAS NO DEBENTURE DEBT WHY THE DISCRIMINATION Premier Henry ha^ given notici that there will be a cut of 20 pel cent in public school grants, and lei per cent in high school and colleKiatf institute ttrants this year. We have not heard any reason givt-n why the cli.serimination should be made on thi.^ basisâ€" v'hy the hiffh salaried inslitu- tions should get the U> per cent and the i'ow salaried 20 per cent cut. Hao it been the other way around it seem."- to us that the new order would bt more justifiable. However, wo un- derstand that Premier Henry is a Bible student and has probably liter- ally interpreted the parable of th« eight talents. See Mathew 26-29. "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abund- ance; but from him that hath not shai'l be taken away even that which he hath." COME ON, SUCKERS! Quotations on various mining stocks have been rising in leaps and bounds on the Toronto market and the public again appears as thougn they desired to enter on the grounS floor on the upward movement ol X«ld stocks. â-  This upw^ard trend is the result of a visit to the northern gold fields of a number of Unitec States capitalists who displayed en thusiasm at the prospects of "a con- tinued growth of gold production. The advance is not a natural trend of the gold market and a drop will most likely come along one of these days, freezing out the small manipulator, while the man m the "know" unloads on an unsuspecting public. We hope that the advance is not just anothet trap to catch a few more suckers on the stock market fishing line. There are few municipalities, eithei urban oi- rural, in Ontario, which can make the proud boast made by Well- ingto county, that it has not one cent of bonded indebtedness. A muni- cipality is to be commended if it fin- ishes its year with a surplus, but when in addition it can show a total lack of debenture debt, surely it has every cause for self-congratulation, says the Gueiph Mercury. Many years ago, Wellington county adopted a policy of "pay as you go,' and its success is strikingly emphas- ized in the present financial state ol the municipality. This policy, how- ever, has not lent itself to a too -sti'ict economy at the expense of the ad- vancement of the couflty. A great percentage of county council exiMindi- turcs are on roads, and this district has as fine a network of paved and improved gravel roads as can be found in a similar area in the province. There has been no stint, but the mon- ey has been furnished as it has beer noedod. The result is a low tax rate. In- terest rates are high, and a munici- pality with a heavy bonded indebted- ness soon finda a large proportion of its revenue swallowed up in inter- est charges which are quite beyond its control. Therefore, any county which can say that it is absolutely debenture free is in a very fortunate position. The annual levy which it must im- pose is made just so much lower, and its citizens reap the benefit. (While it may not be practicable in a city, which requires utilities and equip- ment not needed by a county, for such a corporation as a county the "pay as you go" policy would appear tc be the most satisfactory in all re- spects. Wellington is indeed in a proud po- sition among the counties of Ontario I Other Papers' | i . Opinions . f RADIO FANS ARE THE GOATS Simcoe county council, by resolu- tion, has fyled a protest against the annual radio fee of two dollars. Quite reasonable, but Were this cut off how is the great extravagance of a Dom- inion Radio Commission, at an annual fcst of many thousand dollars, to be provided for by the Dominion Govern- ment. There must be a goat and the radio fans are good subjects. â€" Coil- ingwood Entc •prise-Bulletin. MAKING OWN CLOTHES Spinning wheel.s are in active oper- ation in Western Canada, Norwegian settlers setting the example. iWool cannot be sold on the market at u producing price, and so these thrifty people are making their own clothes This statement will cause older citi- zens to look back to their g^rand- parents' time, and it might be well ti. revive other operations, which did sc much to make contented homes at that period.â€" Aylmer Express. HYDRO EXCHANGE for the wardenship of Bruce the reeve of Brant had the casting vote. Brant with an equalized assessment of %2,- 682,000 (we are not (Juoting the hundreds) had already two votes on the wardenship and was, under thi existing law, granted a third. Car- rick with an assessment of $2,431,000. Huron with $2,327,000, Greenock with 11,881,000, Culross with $1,943,000, Elderslie with $1,802,000 and Arran with $1,791,000 had only one vote Because these large municipalities fall short of having enough votes tc entitle them to a deputy reeve they have only one vote for the warden- ship this year. Brant had three times as many. Three votes for $2,582,000 assessment is one for every $860,000 while in the case of the other town- ships referred to they have oni'y one vote for over twice as much assess- ment. It would be an improvement on the present law for a tie vote on the wardenship if the statutes were amended to give the castiner vote in case of a tie on the wardenship to the most highly ^ssesised toiwnsllv.p with only one representative. So far as the result is concerned there would not have been any difference but it seems manifestly unfair that in a vote on any question one municipality should h(ave three times the voting strength of others which have nearly as large an assessment. â€" Chesley En- terprise.

Many municipaliies opposed paying their .share of the Hydro exchange bill, but the majority are taking a sensible view of this matter. It was decided at a convention of the Munici- pal Electric Association by a vote oi 2 to 1 for the Hydro Commission pay about 46 per cent, and the remaining 54 per cent, to be paid by the munici- palities. Thio seems like a very fair way out of a serious situation as the drain on the reserves of the On- tario Hydro Commission and also on the rreserves of the various munici- pai'ities will not be impaired to suet, an extent, as if either had to pay the whole amount. It will not locally.

This may, or may not, mean advantageâ€" just as one is prepared to look at itâ€" but it .•an scarcely be denied that it is not a help towards the easement of tht present economical situation, when trade is held to be primarily respon- sible for a return of prosperous con- ^Htions. This aspect of the whole matter is to bo regretted. From what has been given us in an official way concerning the proposal it would seem that a more advantageous step could have been taken in the matter if enquiries were set afoot to ensur. the bonifides of the proposal, rather than in finding excuses as to why we should object to trade with a nation whose economic and national ideals are different from ours.

Light means life. If it were not for the light and heat of the sun, life, as we know it, could not exist on earth. No wonder that the ancients worshippeti the sun as a god, for even they recognized the power of this great planet. Light is made up of a number ol different lengths, having different properties. White light can be brok- en up into different colors, as is seen in the rainbow; red forms a band at one edge, and vioi'et a band at the other edge. Beyond these bands there exist rays of light which we cannot see and which are called infra- red and ultra-violet. The different rays produce differ- ent effects upon the body. It is dif- ficult to say what are the effects of sunlight upon the body as distinct from other climatic factors, such a« fresh air, wind, temperature and hu- midity. Following upon an unusual ex- posure of the skin to sunlight, red- dening occurs quickly as a result of the warmth of the -sun's rays. Thlsl is followed by an inflammatory re- action, further reddening and subse- quent tanning caused by the ultra- violet rays. The extent to which this occurs depends upon the length of the exposure and upon the individ- ual himself. Individuafe vary in thpir response to sunlight. Sunlight is powerful and we cannot ail stand the same amount of exposure to its rays. The effects of sum'ight, whether natural or artificial, are»not limited to the skin. Light and air influence metabolism, by which is meant the entire functioning of the body. By stimulating metabolism, a general sense of well-being is produced, and in this way, the mind and the body are both affected. ,We know ver> I'ittle about any definite values ol sunlight! what is known is the com- mon experience of a feeling of great- er energy after exposure to sunlight and air. While small doses of light may be good, larger doses may be harmful, if not destructive. What is good for the normal healthy person may be harmful for the sick. Because sun- light is helpful in one form of tuber- culosis, it does not follow that its effect is beneficial in all forms of the disease. Ultra-violet rays are auccessfully used in the treatment of one form oi skin disease; in others they appcat helpful, while in others .ntill, they have iniurious effects. As far as normal persons are con- cerned, there is no conclusive proof of the many specific beneficial ef- fects which are claimed for sunlight. As a treatment for disease, sunlight should . be regarded as a powerful agent to be used according to the dir ections of someone who is qualified to prescribe treatment, this being par- ticularly true as regards any form ol artificial light treatment. Written for The Advance A ganstcr lived in a cabin -- - - j Way up in a lonely mount , He had no friends but a pony, --^J.- 1 And a dog, so lean and gaunt; i He was a curse to the cow- men. Rustling and stealing their herds, 'Ti'l at last they assembled, one moonlight nignt And headed the broncs for the woods. They aimed to end that rustler ^. -I And riddle his hide with shot, ' .,, But they little dreamed that someone With terror had heard the plot. ....'â-  She saddled her pinto quickly And galloped away to the right. Up a short hidden trail, to the gangsters, On a sombre, death-filled night. She ran in the open doorvvay Straight into the gangster s arms; . - •"They're coming," she cried and kissed him, "So you mr.st ride out of harm." • . ' "No!" said he, "I will face them. But 'tis you who had better ride Away from the bullets to safety," But quickly she stepped by his side. , i Up the trail came the pounding of hoof-beats. Riders streaked out of the woods. They thought, as they leaped from their saddles, They'd catch him there with the goods. Surprised was the rancher to see her. His daughter, by that rustler's side; "Dad, if you kill him, my sweet-heart. There will be two who will have died." "What does this mean?" aske d the rancher, "Have you turned against me?" he cried; "It means that Jack isn't a ganster, If you kill him I'll' suicide." "If I give you my girl," said the rancher, "Will you leave my cattle alone?" "I have never touched your cattle," he answered, "My heart is as clean as your own." "But men from out of the dry-gulch :5I-t Have driven your cattle through And I have stayed here as a witness To prove their gujit to you." "Then," cried the rancher, "You shall have her, "Gangster may be wiped from your name; Daughter, I ask your forgiveness. Of you, son, I ask the same." â€" IRMA SMITH. t Depression Values !
